COVIDx-US -- An open-access benchmark dataset of ultrasound imaging data for AI-driven COVID-19 analytics

Understand

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a devastating effect on the health and well-being of the global population.

• Apart from the global health crises, the pandemic has also caused significant economic and financial difficulties and socio-physiological implications.
• Effective screening, triage, treatment planning, and prognostication of outcome plays a key role in controlling the pandemic.
• Recent studies have highlighted the role of point-of-care ultrasound imaging for COVID-19 screening and prognosis, particularly given that it is non-invasive, globally available, and easy-to-sanitize.
